Replace View Model Example (C#)

This example shows how to replace a model in drawing views.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\assem20.slddrw.
// 2. Verify that the specified replacement model exists.
//
// Postconditions: Replaces the specified component in Drawing View1
// with the specified model.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes
// when closing it.
